Thanks for your help on this Adam. It is indeed something of an arse to set up. No doubt it is something really simple (it usually is) but I really can't see what.

My browsers refuse to read any php file at all so I am guessing that Apache2 is not set up correctly.

To answer your questions:

 extension=mysql.so  is uncommented.  My browser will not read php files at all. It tries to open or download them.
 
 In case it helps:
